One has to define "ordinary effort" first. To me, and virtually everyone else on the planet besides you, Reynolds, and the dumbass ump that made the call seem to think an IFer going that deep into the OF to make a play is ordinary.

I don't expect MLB refs/reps to throw their colleague under the bus.

Trying to make an argument for an IF fly when the ball should have been caught by the OFer is just ignorant, imo.
